Would you expect neodymium and uranium to have similar properties?
Uranium and neodymium are very different chemical elements.
How does the mass per nucleon in uranium compare with the mass per nucleon in the fission fragments or uranium?
This is not something I really know anything about, but I do know that energy is liberated in the process, so you could expect it to be less in the fission fragments. It also depends on the nucleus. Proton and neutron masses differ somewhat, so it depends on what the ratio of protons and neutrons is as well.
Why do you expect neutron stars to have a powerful magnetic field?
because they are super dense
How many neutrons are in the isotope uranium-238?
Uranium, atomic number 92, has several isotopes, and 238U is just one of them. Remember that a nucleon is one of the particles that make up the nucleus of an atom, and that means a proton or a neutron. In the case of this isotope of uranium, it has the 92 protons we'd expect for uranium, and it has 146 neutrons in its nucleus along with those protons. That's 238 necleons in the nucleus if 238U. Wikipedia has more information on uranium and on the nucleon, and links are provided.
Why do you not expect to find a 5 solar mass neutron star?
There are no neutron stars with 5 solar masses because one if a neutron star exceeds 3 solar masses, the neutrons inside would no longer be able to support the extreme gravity, so the neutron star would then collapse into a black hole.A neutron star is prevented from further collapse by a force call neutron degeneracy pressure. Above 3 solar masses gravity will overcome this force and the stellar remnant will collapse completely to form a black hole.
What type of element did Fermi expect to find when uranium absorbed a neutron and then ejected a beta particle?
The element called now neptunium.

Which element is found in most of the compounds in your body expect for water?
This element is carbon.
Where would you expect to find a pulsar?
A pulsar is a rapidly-spinning neutron star, the remains of a supernova explosion.

What element has more known compounds than any other element?
I would expect Carbon to be the element that forms more compounds than any other element.
